Question: X-33, COSC Quartz, Eta, etc.

I've seen no tolerances published for the X-33 and am wondering what they are. Does anyone know?

I understand that Omega's 1666 movement is temperature compensated, like that of Breitling's SuperQuartz, which I believe is supposed to be within 15 sec. per year. Eta, a Swatch company, makes the Breitling movement, so I imagine Omega has the same-- or essentially the same-- movement and accuracy. Or am I way off here?

Can anyone comment on this? Thanks!
